Last Friday morning a man named George Bowers, aged about fifty
years, died of hemorrhage of the lungs at Coleman's Camp on Wedge's
Creek. The deceased worked in the woods several years ago, and was
a good hand. This fall he came here in very poor health and was
given employment by Mr. Dan Kennedy, Mr. Coleman's business
manager., and sent to the camp on Wedge's Creek, of which Ed Topman
is foreman, with instructions that he should be given some light
work, as he was really unfit to do much, and he was assigned to
duty as a helper around the stables of the camp. The morning of his
death he went out to help put some boards on the roof of the
blacksmith shop, and while thus engaged his lungs commence
bleeding, and he died within ten minutes.

He has no friends here, and it is not known that he has at any
other place. When he was here several years ago, he spoke of having
property at Montevideo, Minn., and it is thought that that may have
been his home.
